The suffering of Palestinian civilians cannot become a background noise. Children are still being killed. Families are still losing their homes and parents are still trying to keep their children alive again and again.

We cannot accept Gaza being repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt while the underlying cause remains unresolved.

And in the West Bank, illegal settlement activity continues to expand. Palestinian civilians face settler violence too often enabled by impunity, inflammatory rhetoric and permissive policies.

Our objective remains clear: a viable Palestinian state alongside Israel with both peoples able to live in security, dignity and peace.
